Jewelry from recycled post-consumer tin cans.

Harriete Estel Berman makes jewelry from the discards of our consumer society recycled "tin" containers and post consumer plastic. In this dramatic and colorful jewelry, the colors, the patterns, and the words taken from post consumer materials symbolize our personal search for identity in our material culture. Bar codes and brand name material from post-consumer tin containers recycle our unconscious consumption of advertising, marketing, and possession as identification. The materials are not as precious as gold or silver but in many ways reflect more accurately the values of our society.

Every piece of jewelry is one-of-a-kind from post-consumer packaging, tin cans, and post-consumer plastic waste from take out trays to shampoo bottles. There are no multiples.
